> I'd rather have regulatory capture by a government I mostly trust than unregulated cesspits of hate

The phrase "regulatory capture" describes a situation where the corporations targeted by a regulation take control of the regulatory process, and misuse it to knobble smaller competitors with untargeted or mis-targeted regulations and high compliance costs, and thus entrench their disproportionate market power.
